dengan sel induk sst yang baru. Jenis kanker darah yang umum diobati dengan transplantasi sst adalah lekemia dan limfoma. Efek samping yang sering: mual, muntah, kerusakan hati, perdarahan, infeksi, rambut rontok. Prosesnya disebut harvesting (panen). Diusahakan donor berasal dari saudara dekat sehingga dapat dihindari proses graft versus host disease (GVHD). Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy are now well-accepted procedures for evaluation both the cellularity of the marrow and the nature of the cells present. Although sternum (breast bone) is the traditional site for bone marrow aspiration (but not for biopsy), our preferred site is the posterior Iliac crest (the hip bone) because of ease and safety and the fact that the posterior Iliac crest is usually quite cellular. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Hemophilia and other Clotting disorder Previous Radiation Therapy site. INDICATIONS: Unexplained anemia. Decreased presence of red blood cells, the cause of which may be a variety of reasons, the most common being deficiency of iron stores and Myelodysplasia. Thrombocytopenia. Decreased production of platelets, I.T.P. (or Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia) being most common. Physicians determine if adequate number of platelet producing cells (Megakaryocytes) are present in the bone marrow. Pancytopenia. Decreased production of all three cell lines, differentiates relative involvement of red cell, white cell and platelet lines in a disease. Leukemia, Lymphoma, or Myeloma (helpful in diagnoses, staging and determining results of the treatment) Lympho and Myeloproliferative disorders. Metastatic disease. To determine if bone marrow is involved with cancers from other sites. Chromosomal analyses Unusual infection. Such as Tuberculoses, Fungi and Fevers of Unknown Origin What are ‘Stem Cells’?
Stem cells are uncommitted, self renewing
cells, able to differentiate into many different kinds of tissue.
TWO different sources of stem cells
Embryonic Stem Cells (ESC): Early embryonic (day 5-8 blastocyst cells) self renewing cells ‘Adult’ or Somatic stem cells (ASC): a minor population of self renewing cells found in most tissues Adult Stem Cells (ASC) Problems with ESC mean that: ASC are the only practical approach to regenerative therapy NO ETHICAL PROBLEMS Patients’ own cells can be used after expansion in vitro: no rejection, therefore no immunosuppressive drugs needed.
